known as just The Getty by the locals
Is Awesome!
Most of the awesomeness of the Getty is the building itself.
The grounds and gardens are also striking
From the floor to the heights of the ceiling
We love the Getty
Our two favorite pieces of art work
Specimen (After Durer)
Standing Women I
Standing Women I is one of my all time favorite sculptures. The use of negative space just takes my breath away.
Which beautiful spaces have you visited lately?
We love The Getty! I bet the weather was gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI also love the Getty. My mom's cousin, Robert Irwin, designed the gardens too! But my favorite is the Villa, I am a sucker for Greek and Roman mythology. :)
ReplyDeleteWow~Looks like SO much fun!!
ReplyDeleteVisiting you from the HOP!

Joyous--yes, Robert Irwin did design the beautiful gardens. The gardens are my favorite part of the Getty--so neat he is a cousin. I see also that you are just a stone throws away from me!
ReplyDeleteDaisy--did you get your parking passes?
